Town of Ulster 4-car crash leaves 6 people injured (video)

TOWN OF ULSTER, N.Y. -- A four-car accident Friday afternoon on Sawkill Road resulted in six people being injured, one of whom appeared to be unstable, according to officials at the scene.

Chief Sam Appa of Ulster Hose Fire Company No. 5 said all of those hurt in the accident were transported by Mobile Life to Kingston Hospital and Northern Dutchess Hospital. Most appeared to have non-life threatening injuries, he said.

Neither the circumstances of the crash nor the names of those hurt was immediately available, but Appa said it appeared to be a head-on collision between two cars, with two others trying to avoid the accident.

At least one of the cars was totaled in the 4 p.m. accident, and firefighters had to use the Jaws of Life to remove the driver, Appa said.
